[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it is overrated for 2 reasons:

1) STEM staff and curriculum is like any other T50-100 school

2) Outcomes - lack of fortune 500 companies in and around DMV makes hiring very hard. [/quote]

No idea what you are talking about on 2. UVA is on every list of banking and consulting placement, plus placement at top law schools, med schools, etc.[/quote]

I hear Capitol One is a main recruiter there. How impressive. [/quote]

CapOne has 12,500 employees in Tysons and 12,500 in Richmond. Of course it is going to recruit heavily from the nearby Flagship. I don’t see why that’s a ding. [/quote]

I believe it is the #1 employer for UVA, W&M, VT, JMU . . .[/quote]

Certainly top 3 for VT (usually rotates between CapOne, Boeing, and Lockheed due to engineering college). WM is harder to find top employers because it just lists “employers who hired 4 or more graduates,” but CapOne is one of those.

CapOne not top 10 for JMU:  https://www.jmu.edu/career/careeroutcomes/_files/2023/class_of_2023_report_final.pdf[/quote]

You can get employer data from LinkedIn by looking at the college or university.  It can list top employers.[/quote]
